Another thing, I don't think anybody in Naples cuts their pizza. As we witnessed, you're supposed to tear at it. That wouldn't fly in middle America.

How about just outside of Naples?

The place was absolutely packed for a Thursday evening and even with Mina and Dino knowing the owners we still had to wait 90 minutes for a table. The dinner was worth every minute of that wait, and I’m forever spoiled for pizza…

But this comment was particularly dumb as he's saying that the most Naples-inspired Napolitan pizza maker in NYC (Motorino, since UVPN moved to SF) is actually much better than the Napolitan pizza he is emulating.

I'd like to try it out for myself. But I love NY-style pizza in its own right--it's just a different animal and shouldn't be compared to the authentic Neapolitan stuff. Big Nick's on the UWS is awesome.
